Protesters Attack Offices of Malteser International and of Medicins sans Frontiers

The U.S. and the United Nations are urging the Myanmar government to ensure the security of aid workers after two days of mob violence in Myanmar's western Rakhine state.

Thousands of Buddhist protesters gathered around the separate offices of German-based medical aid group Malteser International and of Medicins sans Frontiers in Sittwe, the state capital, Wednesday and Thursday, authorities said.
